One block........

I did one paper pieced melon shape yesterday. I have Karen Stone's book too and this quilt is in it. There are diagrams for the paper piecing in the book but not in the pattern. I used my Add a Quarter rulers for trimming the fabric.

I cut some corners of the blocks and more strips for the paper piecing while I watched a couple episodes of the Season 2 of Downton Abbey. I finally got it from the library. There are 102 on the list following me who want to see it.

Hi, Wanda. Enjoyed seeing your Bear Paw quilt grow--very lovely. And the melon is going to be gorgeous. As usual your choice of fabrics is pleasing and zingy, and then there's all those spikes! Have fun!best, nadia

This looks like a tricky one. I was wondering how it would turn out. Did you have any trouble getting the corners on? Thank you for sharing, it's so nice to see the extra ordinary simplified into units.

Wanda, you are such an inspiration. I almost finished the binding on my very first attempt at handquilting. I started it years ago and finally got it done. Just about 18 more inches of binding. I want to be like you - finish a quilt a day..LOL THanks for all your inspiration and tips!!! otterpc@aol.com
